My video card has a Video out and Video In cord/port to it, well (question number one) (to let you know there is a s video in and a RCA (yellow cord) in 2, and for the out there is a s video out and a RCA video out)well the RCA in is connected to my PS2 now how do i get to veiw the video in on my video card? i looked all around couldnt find anythin, it came with a program called Video Studio 7 SE DVD but when i try to use capture it says there isnt a deivce connected (and yes i have updated all the drivers for my video card)
question 2, when i use the RCA video out of my video card and it goes to my tv it works and works AWSOME but when i try to watch a movie... it doesnt show up, only a black screen where the video should be (this is on my tv, the video still shows up on my computer screen) how can i fix this????!!?!?

well the RCA in is connected to my PS2 now how do i get to veiw the video in on my video card? i looked all around couldnt find anythin, it came with a program called Video Studio 7 SE DVD but when i try to use capture it says there isnt a deivce connected
Are you sure that's the only program the video card came with? I used to have a ATI-TV Wonder and in order to watch TV on it or play video games on it, I had to use the ATI TV Player. As far as I know, you have to have a TV playing/capturing program in order to do what you want. Also, just to warn you, often video game consoles don't show up too well when played through computer (sometimes it's black and white, other times it's fuzzy, sometimes it's perfect... just depends on the type of card your using).
when i use the RCA video out of my video card and it goes to my tv it works and works AWSOME but when i try to watch a movie... it doesnt show up, only a black screen where the video should be (this is on my tv, the video still shows up on my computer screen) how can i fix this????!!?!?
As far as I know (I experienced this same problem with InterVideo WinDVD) it's a software issue. Try a different DVD player when trying to watch a movie on your TV screen. As I said, I couldn't get one of my old boxes to work with WinDVD, but it did work with the proprietary Creative DVD Player that came with the DVD-ROM drive.

Try going into the Windows Media Player settings and setting it as your default player for DVD movies (the reason RealPlayer is playing the movies is just that... it's the default player for DVDs)

when i use the RCA video out of my video card and it goes to my tv it works and works AWSOME but when i try to watch a movie... it doesnt show up, only a black screen where the video should be
for this problem, you might wanna try, right click on the desktop and goto properties\
then goto settings tab, then advanced, then display
then set the tv display as the default display, then apply,
i hope this helps

Hmmm what brand of card..
if you have a card with "VIVO" they normaly come with the nVidia - WDM drivers for the VIVO capability.. that is video Out and In .. It sounds that this is the type of card that you have.. You are trying to get the video from your ps2 to the INPUT of the VIVO sockets? right?
You will need to check again the drivers you have installed.. Then check the settings for the card.. ie in the device manager or display properties..there must be a area that has been disabled.. reset to default?
If you have a leadtek card check for a program called "Winfast PVR" seem with these bugger you need this for other programms to be able to capture.. nice cards **** drivers and software interface..
but tell us the Brand and model of the card. The chip type tells us ****-all...

Good advice, except that you want to set your TV as the SECONDARY display using the nvidia tab that should have installed itself in your advanced settings when you installed the card. You will probably need to tell the software to detect your displays. PM me if you have any questions.

i think there also should be a clone feature that allows you to have both displays at the same time.
it should be under the side folder that pops out in the "nview" feature that should come w/ nvidia.(mine does)
